<p>I scored 1970 on new SAT, and I am shooting for 2150+ when I retake it this October. How can I improve my score dramatically in four months? Should I buy RocketReview Revolution? I already have The Official SAT: Study Guide and Barrons: Verbal Workbook. Is RocketReview worth to buy it?</p>
<p>read the xiggi's sticky post up above. Basically you're supposed to buy everything you can get your hands on and use them as reference material for real SAT tests.</p>
<p>Why does everyone say "xiggi method" and then everyone has a different definition?</p>
<p>Freq, its basically getting the blue and red book and doing the tests and understanding the answers. Basically. I think he did say you can do what george said, but that's not even the bulk of his method.</p>
<p>quitejaded must know something the rest of the CC community doesn't. </p>
<p>Xiggi method = Take real tests, and when you are reviewing the tests, use other source materials to help you hone in on good strategies that work for YOU. Hence: "Basically you're supposed to buy everything you can get your hands on and use them as reference material for real SAT tests."</p>
<p>To more directly answer your question, I would recommend buying rocket review as well as grammatix and any other books that get good reviews on CC.</p>
<p>Ugh, ya, okay. BUt the way you said it makes it sound like you should buy the kaplan, pr, rocketreview, barrons and whatever books. Study them and then go take the test, and that's not the method.</p>
<p>Actually, that's not what I said. I said you're supposed to buy them all and use them as "sources" (according to xiggi) for when you come accross problems that give you trouble in real tests. Forgive me if I stated it unclearly.</p>
<p>George's first post sums up the "Xiggi method" pretty well. The "outside" books are useful as reference books, but not as test sources. To quote Xiggi, "I have a simple recommendation: buy as many SAT books as you can afford. There are no clear leaders and most books share very similar strategies and tips...My recommendation stays the same: buy as many as you can and check the strategies to find a few that apply to your individual taste ... [however,] under no circumstances should a student use tests that are not published by The College Board."</p>
